Bananas!

Let me hear you say bananas---ba-a-nan-as, its bananas.

Daylight come and me wanna go home.

They are kind of Jiralhanae-ish, so they might be nice to represent Crisis Suits if one was to make a Covenantesque Tau army.

But its a robot with a monkey head. A sure seller, I'm sure. I just wonder what will be next: ninja robots with monkey heads? Pirate zombie ninja robots with monkey heads? I better stop or I'll be up all night.

These look like the basic troops "Gorilleros" (with jet packs).

*EDIT*

I did some poking around and uncovered these on a French gaming forum (have they been posted before?):

Gorilleros with jet-pack:

K-Warriors (shock troops):

Wendigos with ZZ-Rifles:

Ya'know...

Chop off their heads, replace with appropriately looking helmets, and you'll have excellent looking power armour. Heck, 'hydrocephalic gorilla' anyone?

Cheers

Awesome! Space Monkey for the Win!! Once AT-43 gets on other race, I'm really going to look at that game. Well, I have looked at it a bunch and bought a bunch of it, But I'm still holding my breath for more races/armies.

**Elusive71**

I wouldn't be surprised if they end up with optional helmet heads or even bubble helmets - especially for the Gorilleros and K-Warrior.

**Ozymandias**

I don't know why but I really like these!

Plus, I don't feel bad investing in AT-43 as it doesn't add to the mountain of unpainted minis I already have.

That's my feeling too. The first time I saw the Karmans I thought they were ridiculous, but for some inexplicable reason, I can't wait to pick these dudes up.

I hope they come up with some rules for a huge Karman vehicle so I can bust out my Zoids Iron Kong as a proxy:

Actually even better would be the Zoids Golem:

The King Mammoth is already mentioned in the rulebook, expect to se some really big tanklike thing.

Get out of my dreams and into my shopping cart! Thanks for the heads up, duckfish!

You know, I thought I'ld seen almost everything... I was wrong !

POWER-ARMOURED MONKEYS ! Where's Terry Pratchett's Librarian when you need him ? (Hey, now there's a SM conversion idea...)

Initially I was like "WTF?" But they really grow on you... and yes, Mr. Heinlein's "hydrocephalic gorrilas", indeed.

I don't know a huge amount about AT-43 - what are the odds of getting these in the future unpainted and with alternative heads/ helmets ? Do Rackham go down that line much?

Cheers,

Padre^.

**stonefox**

Wow! These pics are nice! I can make a whole ton of Tau conversions based on those. I especially like the twin jetpacks gorilla. The fronts look like shark heads so I might draw some fun shark faces on them.

color me unimpressed. but i'm not a huge fan of AT-43 and I refuse to buy pre-painted anything.

**Duncan_Idaho**

@Padre
no chance for unpainted, but it is possible to rebasecoat it without loss of detail.

Good to have you back!

**Duncan_Idaho**

cheers

Duncan,

Thanks mate - might just give it a run... one Terry-Pratchett-style Space Marine Librarian, coming up!

(For those who don't read Terry Pratchett, the Librarian is an orangutan...it's a long story...)

If there is some old die-hard Rogue Traders out there................

Maybe HBMC or Kid Kyoto could do a "CODEX:JOKAREO"

It has been awhile, so the spelling might be off.

Apparently Magneus Calgar has Jokareo Digital wepons on his Power fists.

"CODEX:JOKAREO" will probably be released before "CODEX

RKS".....lol

**Duncan_Idaho**

Well, the Jokareo where quite some influence when the Karman where devekoped.
